Why does it rain during a hurricane?
During a hurricane, it rains heavily due to the intense convection of warm, moist air rising rapidly and condensing into clouds. This process generates strong thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, which can lead to flooding and other hazards.
How much rain does a typical hurricane bring?
A typical hurricane can bring anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of rain, with some areas experiencing significantly more rainfall. This heavy rainfall can result in flooding, landslides, and other forms of water-related damage.
Is a drought a weather or geological cause?
It is a weather cause because it means less rain and rain water can be purified to make regular water but there is still lake, stream, and ocean and I'm not sure if ocean water can be purified but its weather
How does water leave the ocean?
Water from the ocean gets evaporated into the atmosphere, forming clouds. but clouds move so when it rains, if a cloud that was previously over an ocean is now over a landmass, the rain is water from the ocean.
Why does most of the rain that falls come from the ocean?
Most of the rain that falls comes from the ocean because the sun's heat evaporates ocean water, turning it into water vapor in the atmosphere. As the water vapor cools and condenses, clouds form and eventually release rain. Since oceans cover a significant portion of the Earth's surface, they are the primary source of moisture for the water cycle and subsequent rainfall.
What is an Atlantic ocean storm with high winds and rain?
This would be a hurricane.
Is a tsuanmi like a hurricane?
well they both have to do with water but its just the form that is differant ** A hurricane is a large storm that forms over an ocean, wind rain and lightning and thunder come with this storm. A tsunami is a large wave that travels on the ocean.
When does a hurricane pick up salt water and rain it on land?
No. Rain in a hurricane is fresh water just like it is in other storms.
Is a hurricane a flood?
No. A hurricane is a large, powerful storm that develops over warm ocean water. Hurricanes bring very strong winds, large waves, coastal flooding, and torrential rain.
Once rain has fallen how does water return to the ocean?
Once rain has fallen, water often returns to the ocean from collection in rivers and lakes. Sometimes water falls directly into the ocean as rain.
Where does all the rain come from in a hurricane?
Hurricanes are driven by moisture that evaporates off warm ocean water. This moisture the condenses within the storm, releasing energy that drives the hurricane and then falling to earth as rain.
How does evaporation contribute to the development of storms?
When water vapor condenses, it gives off energy or heat. That heat drives hurricanes and all other storms associated with rain. When the Ocean is warm, more water can evaporate. Then when the water vapor rises to the clouds, more water vapor can condense and provide heat, rain, and wind to make the hurricane stronger. If the ocean is cooler, less water can evaporate. Then, less water vapor can condense. The hurricane will get weaker. Very few hurricanes form in winter and those that do are quite weak.
How does the formation of a hurricane relate to the water cycle?
Hurricanes mix up the nutrients in the water and mix oxygen from the atmosphere into the ocean. This affects the microorganisms in the water which affects the whole ocean food chain since they are the bottom of the food chain. They also destroy coral reefs and displace sea animals. Hurricanes also produce a temporary decease in sea surface temperatures.
Does it rain salt water over the ocean?
No. Only PURE WATER evaporates from the ocean. It evaporates, rises into the atmosphere, and eventually cools down, condenses, and falls as rain. It may have some chemicals other than water in it, but they were picked up from the atmosphere. So, in a nutshell, only water rises from the ocean to make clouds/rain. The salt is left behind.
If the ocean turns color will the sky turn color?
yes. if its about to rain, it will be a dark ocean. if it is sunny, it will be a regular...
How does water get from the ocean to the mountains?
evaporation and rain
Where is rain water stored?
in the clouds and ocean
